How the Society operates
The Society is run by a committee of members with responsibility for key areas i.e. Chair & Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Membership, Events, Planning Watch, Newsletter, Website Editor
Our Planning Watch sub-group watches over Council planning applications, flags up concerns and publicises issues to encourage members to become actively involved
We aim to make best use of our links to other organisations and groups e.g. Community Councils, Action Groups, Residents Associations etc to share expertise and ideas
We aim to build up a ‘panel of advisers’ (architects, lawyers etc) who can give expert advice on Civic Society topics and campaigns
We aim to build close links with the Council and develop a constructive dialogue
We will affiliate to the national Civic Trust and other bodies that support our aims and make best use of the resources that these organisations can provide
